The hostel itself is built in a repurposed Soviet sewing factory and is filled with street art, cafés, and indie shops, perfect for meeting fellow travelers or simply soaking in the local vibe.
For transport, I initially took an overnight bus from Azerbaijan to the Georgia border but quickly realized that flying would be a more comfortable and efficient option—definitely worth the extra cost if you want to save time and energy for exploring!
On day two, visiting the Dry Bridge Market was an excellent way to dive into Tbilisi’s eclectic side, where you can find vintage goods and unique souvenirs. The free shows like the Clock Tower performance at noon add a charming touch to the city’s atmosphere.
The Kazbegi and Gudauri tour on day three was unforgettable for panoramic mountain views, with stops at Zhinvali Reservoir and Gergeti Trinity Church's iconic location. Booking through Klook made it hassle-free and cost-effective, and the small-group setting was perfect for solo travelers seeking both safety and adventure.
One tip I learned firsthand is to budget for taxis carefully. While affordable, some taxis are not recommended depending on routes, so planning ahead or using reputable services ensures a smoother trip.
Georgia is truly a beautiful country with rich history, warm hospitality, and stunning landscapes that you can explore even on a modest budget—all while experiencing its vibrant urban life and tranquil nature.
